A poem called "Dianna" that I wrote for my mom last year. The photograph is of Slieveanorra Forest, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland that I took in July 2021.

I cannot stress this enough when you’re doing your last minute holiday shopping please keep in mind that these retail workers are human beings and deserve kindness and respect. It’s also not their fault you’re there doing your last minute shopping and if they’re out of items you want/need. Be kind.

This is the last batch from my gloomy period. It seemed important to get that work out first. I'm going to shift to trying to post more lighthearted or game oriented work now.

Blocking anyone who is mildly sus immediately and without particular emotional engagement is obviously the best way to go but once in a while it would be nice to have a block option that ALSO produces an animation of the profile being flushed down a toilet or maybe the text melting gruesomely away
